    • ]]>     Training for an ultra marathon running event can be daunting. But take heart, age need not be a limiting factor. It is well documented that older athletes perform better in endurance events. Whether this is to do with greater psychological strengths or a physical stamina built up over decades is debatable.

    Cliff YoungSome athletes stories transcend their sports and inspire nations. Cliff Young’s story did just that when in 1983 he, an unknown 61 year old Australian potato farmer turned up wearing overalls and work boots to run 543.7-miles in the countries hardest ultra marathon event from Sydney to Melbourne.

    Cliff not only finished the event, his first ever competitive race but he won, knocking 2 days off the existing record and beating many professional athletes in the process.

    His strategy was simple in that he didn’t stop to rest, he ran through the night while the other runners stopped for 4-6 hours to sleep. a classic case of tortoise and hare which brought him victory after 5 days on the road.

    This ultra marathon running video describes Cliff’s training and race strategy and is a reminder to us all that age is no barrier to following our dreams. Well done Cliff.

    • ]]>     Ocean rowing tests the body and mind to their complete limit, perhaps more than any other ultra marathon sport. One reason for this is the lack of visible progress. Unlike cycling or running say when the competitor is moving through a changing landscape which provides some distraction from the monotony, ocean rowers have no such luxury. just mile after mile of ocean waves. This guest post is by Peter van Kets and outlines his upcoming record attempt for rowing the Atlantic Ocean.

    Rowing Solo and unsupported across Atlantic Ocean

    Peter van KetsI am getting ready to row solo unsupported across the Atlantic on 6 December this year. My journey which is also part of a race (Woodvale Atlantic Rowing Race) starts in the Canary Islands and finishes 5500Km later in Antigua, Caribbean.

    In 2008, myself and good friend Bill Godfrey rowed the same race winning it in 50 days. We rowed in 90min shifts, 24/7 except for Christmas where we took 30 mins off to have our Christmas “lunch”.

    My solo trip is about setting a few records, but those in time fade and it’s just the memories of the pain, deprivation and the amazing ocean that stay with you. The longer any expedition takes the more you have to endure the stronger your mind must be.

    Physical pain is a given and must be embraced. It’s really what drives me. Self-Discipline is the key to success in any hostile environment. There is no such thing as the absence of fear so fear must be subdued – I usually find the best of me in big adrenalin moments. Taking on the small things and getting them right and focusing on them allows the big things to happen.

    I’m just an ordinary person, who is 100% committed to owning my life. I was a school teacher before I decided to follow my dream of becoming an adventurer, explorer and motivational speaker. I now try and inspire people to own their lives. Subsequently I’ve led many expeditions to remote regions around the world. I’m a family man, married to Kim and we have a beautiful daughter called Hannah.

    Everyone has dreams. Everyone has goals and ambitions that they hope to one day turn into reality. The main reason why I’m doing this, is because I see how I’m able to motivate people and change their lives for the good. I’d like to use it as a platform to get people to start owning their lives so that they can get out there and achieve their dreams as I have.

    • ]]>     I was fortunate enough to see the London premier of a new documentary (Running to the Limits) examining the progress of 3 very different aspiring international marathon runners. It is a fabulous portrait and an inspirational documentary of what is possible when an ordinary man (overweight, heavy drinker & smoker) makes a personal and life changing commitment to see if he can make it as an international distance runner. At times funny and sad it is a triumph for what is possible when we truly apply ourselves. This is a must see and is being shown on UK TV Channel 4 the second week in DEC 09. (Global distribution to follow)

    I hope you enjoy this video trailer for the upcoming documentary – Running to the Limits – Please take a moment to comment afterwards and give your thoughts on the film does it inspire you to run a marathon, could you imagine undertaking the level of training necessary to reach international standard?
